Diddy’s Latest Judge Denies That Prosecutors Purposely Leaked The Harrowing Cassie Footage

by

Diddy’s efforts to free himself from jail have not once been successful. Even though he’s been trying to make his bail packages appealing, no judge has taken the bait. Because of this, he effectively and recently decided to back out of any further attempts in the future. “Mr. Combs does not seek to appeal the district court’s denial of his renewed motion and hereby moves to voluntarily dismiss the appeal. Mr. Combs hereby states that (a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel’s explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.”

That is part of the court filing that was sent in back on December 13. While Diddy is moving away from this plan, he recently tried a different approach. According to Billboard, an order was issued earlier today from the embattled mogul. In it, he was arguing that the physical assault footage against ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was leaked by prosecutors. He believes it was spread by them to “taint the jury pool,” thus leading an unfair trial.

However, Judge Arun Subramanian, the latest of the three to oversee this case, denied this. He’s done so by shutting down Diddy’s request to see this through in court hearings. Mr. Subramanian argues that he “doesn’t point to any sound basis for this conclusion.” He adds, “Combs never considers the possibility that many people beyond Victim-1 and government agents likely had access to the video.”

That includes “Combs’s team (who paid security officers at the Intercontinental Hotel “$100,000 in cash to destroy” the video) and hotel employees and contractors.” Also in this denial, the judge made sure to make things clear regarding information and how to share it. “The court has already taken steps in this regard,” he begins. “It is open to tailored applications for relief as this case continues. The court once again reminds the government and its agents that if specific information comes to light showing that they leaked prohibited information, action will be taken.”

Diddy Begs Cassie For Help In Newly Revealed Text Messages After Hotel Assault

by

Diddy is now in court after months of accusations, allegations, and lawsuits, many of them which have remained speculative and accusatory at press time. However, one piece of evidence that suggests he may have a pattern of misbehavior is a clip of him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel room back in 2016. Moreover, during a New York court hearing on Wednesday (September 18) to appeal for his bond again (unsuccessfully), Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson revealed texts that the Bad Boy mogul and Cassie allegedly sent to each other in the aftermath of this hotel incident years ago.

“Call me, the cops are here. I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone,” Diddy allegedly wrote to Cassie. “The defendant knew he had done something that could elicit police response,” Johnson interpreted. “When you get f***ed up, you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll. I’m someone’s child,” Cassie allegedly told her partner after his abuse of her. Elsewhere concerning this assault, these court hearings also present two wildly different clams about what actually happened.

Diddy’s Alleged Text To Cassie

First, Cassie’s side of the story. According to the prosecution, a male sex worker was allegedly present in her and Diddy’s hotel room at the time of the assault and Cassie allegedly tried to escape a “freak-off” party. However, Sean Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo alleges that Cassie discovered that Combs was cheating on her with another woman. Allegedly, she went through Diddy’s phone, threw it at his head, took his clothes, and walked out. Obviously, we don’t know the truth of what really happened here eight years ago. We’ll see what other proof emerges surrounding it.

More Messages/Updates

Meanwhile, Diddy did score at least one small legal victory amid this intense and massive arrest. A judge dismissed a sexual assault case that had resulted in a $100 million judgement for the alleged victim. But that seems even smaller now that he is behind bars, and especially now that his alleged crimes are presented in more of a supposedly systemic way. We’ll see what else we learn during the Diddy trial…

Roger Bonds Thinks Diddy & Cassie Assault Video Proves The Truth Behind All Their Stories

by

Roger Bonds’ recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV continues to provide some interesting claims and insights into the Diddy situation. Moreover, the Bad Boy mogul’s former bodyguard told Vlad of how he perceived the reaction to the video of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Bonds told the story of how Puffy was intoxicated in this incident, and how many folks initially expressed skepticism at abuse claims that he and Cassie brought forth against Puff Daddy. However, Bonds also revealed how the release of the video also made him feel slightly vindicated, as the narrative they painted around their former colleague could no longer be denied, at least in part.

Of course, Diddy’s multiple other lawsuits and accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking aren’t all immediately proven by a single video. What the clip did show us is that at least this specific incident occurred, regardless of how it paints other accusations. It’s still very much a gray area, since there hasn’t been a lot of explicit legal development when it comes to the search for accountability. Hopefully this changes soon with more details and investigations that get further to the truth behind all these accusations.

Still, recent changes and actions suggest that Diddy will take a public backseat for a while. For example, he and his team recently wiped his Instagram account’s posts completely, one of which was a video apology to Cassie after this video leaked. The music executive and businessman’s team relayed that he still stands by the apology despite taking it down. They also denied the idea that he took his posts down for any particular reason.

Meanwhile, others spent their time recently thinking of ways in which Diddy could escape this public scrutiny, including Michael Blackson. “There’s probably three ways [for him] coming back to life,” he suggested. “Probably the Nation Of Islam. Number one, probably, right? You know, go out there, go talk to [Louis] Farrakhan, join the team. I mean put him on the street [to] sell bean pies, like they did back in [the] 90s. Two, just join the LGBTQIE [sic]. I’m not sure if I missed any letters or not. Join them […] Turn into a pastor [or] something; turn into a Ma$e. Y’know, become a pastor, or just pack this s**t and go to some village somewhere and change your name.”

50 Cent Agrees With Biggie’s Mother, Wants To “Slap” Diddy Too

by

Unsurprisingly, the disturbing footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel has sparked countless big reactions since it surfaced online earlier this month. Most agree that it’ll be tough, if at all possible, for the Bad Boy Records founder to bounce back reputationally. He apologized for his behavior as it went viral on social media, though it did little to quiet the explosive backlash.

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the mother of another major force in hip-hop shared her take on the debacle, The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace. According to her, seeing it has drastically changed her perception of the mogul, who she admits she once liked. Now, however, she believes he owes a major apology to both Cassie and his own mother, Janice Combs.

50 Cent Reacts To Voletta Wallace’s Diddy Comments

“I’m sick to my stomach,” she told the outlet, “I’m praying for Cassie. I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the hotel video]. I pray that he apologizes to her.” Wallace continued, revealing that she has plans for Diddy the next time she sees him in person. “I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that,” she said. “Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”

Now, 50 Cent has shared his reaction to Wallace’s comments, and expectedly, he feels exactly the same way. “LOL,” he captioned a screenshot of an article about her claims today. “I WANT TO SLAP HIM TOO.” What do you think of 50 Cent’s reaction to The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother, Voletta Wallace, admitting that she wants to “slap” Diddy?

Diddy Is Reportedly Frustrated With Cassie Footage’s Release

by

Diddy had already responded to the video of him assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway amid his various other accusations, but it seems like he might have harbored some resentment. Moreover, an alleged source close to his camp reportedly spoke to The Post recently to speak on his reaction and perspective concerning that footage. Apparently, Sean Combs is convinced that the sudden release of that clip is part of an agenda against him, and that it doesn’t tell the full story of what really went down that day. Of course, take this information with a grain of salt, as this is an unconfirmed claim that isn’t reflected in his apology video.

“He’s incensed,” the alleged source claimed of Diddy’s thoughts on the Cassie video. “Especially about the video. He insists it doesn’t tell the full story about what happened. Not that he’s excusing it, but he says that it’s a selected video. It’s his position that there was an agenda in releasing the video when it was released. But ultimately, he knows that his big concern is the raids on his house; the Cassie video is just a distraction.”

Meanwhile, this is what Cassie had to say when this footage spread like wildfire on social media, which she relayed via Instagram. “Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet,” she said of the Diddy situation. “The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie continued concerning Diddy. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Jeannie Mai Thanks Cassie For Her Bravery Amid Mai’s Accusations Against Jeezy

by

Jeannie Mai is in the middle of a pretty contentious divorce from Jeezy, and is apparently seeing her story reflected in other big pop culture developments. Specifically, she reacted to new footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie and responded to the former Bad Boy artist’s message to fans about their support and her journey. “In every echo of your bravery, Cassie, there lies a melody of hope that dances through the silence,” Mai wrote to Cassie. “Your voice has been a shield and sanctuary for many, including me. Thank you for turning your fight into your light.” Of course, fans found it hard to see this in any other context that wasn’t relating to her current situation.

Moreover, Jeannie Mai accused Jeezy of subjecting her to domestic abuse and child neglect, exhibiting behavior that included “explosive outbursts, excessive drinking, and domestic violence.” The rapper denied any and all claims on social media, labeling them as “not only false but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone [he] loved.” As such, there are a lot of conflicting narrative points in their legal battle, so the public is still very unclear as to what actually went down and how the court will respond. That struggle is still ongoing, so there should be more updates throughout the year when it comes to their status.

Jeannie Mai’s Response To Cassie

Furthermore, the last claim that came up in their divorce process is that Jeezy accused Jeannie Mai of “weaponizing” their daughter against him. Given that the two started a family, this will probably be one of the more combative and potentially ugly parts of this debacle, as they will fight staunchly to stay connected. While this situation is very different to that of Diddy and Cassie, it’s understandable why people drew these links before Mai even said anything. Maybe it’s not because of the actual circumstances, but more because of the timing of both of these stories.

In both cases, especially relating to Diddy’s various sexual assault lawsuits, there are claims and accusations that the court still hasn’t verified at press time. It’s more likely than not that the Jeezy and Jeannie Mai case will continue for a while. All we can hope for is that there’s solid verification for stories moving forward. After all, this whole court situation can result in a lot of gossip.

50 Cent Reacts To Cassie’s Statement Regarding Diddy Footage

by

50 Cent has been extremely vocal about the Diddy and Cassie situation. Ever since Cassie filed her lawsuit against the music mogul in November of last year, Fif has been making all sorts of comments on social media. He has mostly been making memes at Diddy’s expense, and he has not taken his foot off of the gas. In the aftermath of the recent hotel footage that depicts Diddy assaulting Cassie, Fif has continued to call out the disgraced mogul. Furthermore, earlier today, Cassie released her own statement in which she thanked fans for their support.

“Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously,” Cassie said. “My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in. I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don’t cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie.”

Following this statement, 50 Cent took to his own Twitter account where he showed some support for Cassie. “I can’t wait to hear new music from @cassie , get to it let’s go!” he wrote. Overall, it was a nice message and a break from the trolling he had been doing previously. Whether or not we do hear music from Cassie soon, still remains to be seen.

Let us know what you think of this response from 50 Cent, in the comments section down below. What do you make of him selling a Diddy documentary to Netflix?

Raven-Symoné Addresses Diddy’s Latest Apology Video: “He’s Sorry He Got Caught!”

by

Yesterday, Raven-Symoné addressed Diddy’s most recent Instagram apologies on her program. The musician’s most recent social media post, which surfaced after CNN published the exclusive video of him violently abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, was discussed by the former together with her spouse Miranda Maday. The 2016 incident came to light through a security footage that CNN made public. Symone didn’t seem to be persuaded by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ most recent apology.

Following Diddy’s apology, several individuals have voiced their opinions, with Raven-Symoné being the most recent one. The most recent edition of the Raven & Miranda podcast was released yesterday, and in it, the duo discussed Combs’ body language, whether or not the artist genuinely expressed regret for his acts, and whether or not the apology was sincere. According to Symone, the artist may have apologized because “his money is about to deplete,” but that is the only reason. She went on to go into more detail on why she thinks that.

Raven-Symoné gave her opinion on Diddy’s apology, saying, “There’s always been rumors in the industry about his shenanigans, and it’s always been kind of ‘hush-hush,’ put underneath the rug, and now things and windows are starting to open and people are starting to see in.” She continued, “His apology video… I think he’s distraught because he knows that his money is about to deplete. He’s apologetic… I think he’s sorry that he got caught.” She is not buying the apology. Raven says if he was sincere, the situation would have never happened in the first place.

She also stated, “He [Diddy] can sit up there naked as a jay bird and write “I apologize” all over his thing, and we’re always going to say that is not enough because you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.” The world is closing in on Diddy. Raven-Symoné does not believe what seems like an effort to maintain some level of his reputation. The massive federal probe and the lawsuit that was filed by his ex-Cassie show that he’s in serious water. Overall, folks like Raven-Symoné are no longer buying what he is selling anymore.

Diddy Apology Gets Two Thumbs Down From 50 Cent: “Who Is Advising Him Right Now?”

by

Several hours ago, rapper and music mogul Diddy issued a formal apology to Cassie for his irreversible actions. The latter was an alleged brutal assault with the 2016 footage being obtained by CNN on Friday, May 17. It quickly went viral, as it displayed some truly disturbing imagery. Her and Diddy were staying at hotel and when the singer tried to leave, he eventually caught up to her. He kicked Cassie, struck her in the head, snatched her possessions, and even threw an item while she was still down. Fans have shown obvious support for Diddy’s ex and disgust toward him. Of course, one of those people to comment was 50 Cent.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office responded to the video moments later with some bad news. Because of the time of the assault and the new statute of limitations being passed, they cannot do anything about it. This prompted 50 to throw a theory out there. “This is why they put that tape out, they know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t unsee what we saw.” 50 follows Diddy’s every move and when he watched the apology, he was quick to respond again.

Essentially, he does not understand why Diddy is trying to speak out at all. DJ Akademiks reshared Fif’s IG commentary: “This is not going to work, who is advising him right now? SMH bad move @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” Even though Diddy is “truly sorry,” there is nothing that will change anyone’s mind, especially 50’s.

What are your thoughts on 50 Cent saying that the Diddy apology was a bad move? Do you think he is trolling or being genuinely serious? Do you agree with 50’s opinion, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Diddy & Cassie Footage Is “Disturbing,” Los Angeles D.A. Remarks In Statement

by

Diddy is in hotter waters than ever on the Internet thanks to an alleged video of him supposedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Moreover, this clip is quite the disturbing one, and spread virally online due to the scandalous nature of his numerous sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations, whose claims also include more abhorrent behavior. However, it seems like this might not result in the immediate legal action that some users probably expected. Furthermore, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office issued a statement on Friday (May 17) on the matter, explaining the situation.

“We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles,” the L.A. D.A.’s Office remarked of Diddy. “We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch. If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”

L.A. D.A.’s Statement On Diddy & Cassie Footage

As such, it seems like -– at least, in this legal capacity -– there will be no immediate repercussion or pressed charges against Diddy. Of course, that could change quickly, especially if Cassie’s lawsuit within the statute of limitations also included a police report. But that’s an unclear detail, and it failed to change any sort of indignant reception or reaction to this alleged footage. Folks are going quite wild over it online, and for good reason given its intensity.

Meanwhile, there are other celebrities and pop culture figures that chimed into the debacle to either defend Cassie or protect Diddy. But this alleged video definitely ruined him in many’s eyes after what was already a staggeringly disturbing process for most. We’ll see what else comes of it in the near future, if anything at all. Hopefully whatever we see next outlines a clear path of action, and for the alleged victims’ sake, folks can get to the bottom of the truth as soon as possible.
